Sequel of the ''Dots-O-thon'' held in January 2012 to celebrate the 31st anniversary of The legendary pink dots. I knew that I would do a sequel to it but not right away. As you may guess, to prepare such a special demands tons of work and, well, lots of dedication. But people were asking for it and I wanted to do it anyway so I thought that this year would see happen. I hope you will enjoy the mix specially dedicated to a good friend: Heather King.

Special thanks to both Facebook groups Follow the dots, Ken McGrath especially, and The biggest fans of the legendary pink dots as well as the legendary pink dots website (www.legendarypinkdots.org) who helped me to promote this special.

Notes:

1. Very rare live version of a track supposed to be on Chyekk China doll but mysteriously has been left out, now part of the remastered version of Lyvv China doll on Bandcamp!!

2. New bonus track from the most recent reissue of this album. Another version of an old song by the Legendary pink dots.

3. One of the numerous aliases of Edward Ka-Spel.

4. This song is a complete mystery to me, as Ka-Spel says himself ''He never done it before'' and ''...we are going to write it before your very eyes''. Unknown track never recorded on any albums (for what I know). If somebody has more info about this one, I'd be interested to know more about it.

5. Columnyetz and Lying in state were available on the tape version of Lyvv China doll release in 1987 but not on the CD version but back on the remastered version on Bandcamp :D

Part 2 next week will cover 1991 to 2007.
